It is a legal requirement to wear a seatbelt in the front and back of a vehicle.

But there are exceptions aren’t there?

Crews from Cheddar and Wells (UK) along with an Ops Assurance Officer attended a very serious road traffic collision (RTC) on the afternoon of 19 January during the changeable weather that seems to be hitting the area at the moment. In the incident, a Saab Convertible vehicle was involved.
